A/N: Hey everyone! I'm asthefireplaceflickers (formerly EmaSea). I've been reading stories on here for a while, but I've never really written one until now. I prefer to keep to writing my own original stories and only role playing my fandoms. This is my first fanfiction, so I cannot promise it will be anywhere near good. I actually wasn't going to post it on here, but I would really love feedback to improve my fanfiction writing. I'm not even sure how often I'll update this, as I just wrote this today being bored. I don't have a plot decided yet or anything. Also, I don't have a Beta Reader, so I'm sorry for any and all mistakes. I think this will mainly be Raine/Blainchel with possible Faberry friendship. Well, here I go.
*Note: The first chapter of this story was previously posted under my former username, but I took it down after it was up for only a few days.
Disclaimer: I do not own Glee, the characters of Glee, any of the songs used or basically anything familiar.
"Hey, Berry? Earth to Rachel."
The brunette barely noticed that someone was calling her. Slowly, she drifted out of her daydreams and looked around the immediate area.
"Mercedes?" she questioned, "This better be good." I was thinking about Blaine, and you better have something important to say if you're going to interrupt me. Rachel raised an eyebrow at the other girl, keeping her thoughts to herself as she shifted in her seat slightly.
"Snap out of it, Berry! You haven't been acting anything like normal-Rachel since Saturday. It's Thursday. Not that I'm complaining about your unusual silence," Puck added.
Rachel rolled her eyes. "I'm just exhausted from all the cleaning I had to do after the party. I barely finished reorganizing the basement before my dads got home. Kurt was the only one who found any point in coming back to help out." Maybe I could have tidied the house up faster if I wasn't thinking about Blaine the whole time!
Rachel heard someone clearing their throat and she remembered where she was: Glee rehearsal.
"Now, if you guys don't mind me butting in, I think we should get back to the songs. Rachel, since you're aware of your surroundings now, would you like to sing your solo for the group?" Will Schuester asked.
Rachel stood up, suddenly a lot perkier. "Right, of course. I know I'm usually into strictly show tunes, but I think this particular song, though not from Broadway, really expresses my true emotions." She dramatically informed her classmates. "Quinn helped me pick it out, as she knows more about this genre of music than I do," the short girl beamed.
A few people shot confused glances at Quinn as Rachel made her way to stand in the middle of the classroom. Smiling widely at the rest of the Glee club, Rachel cued the band and readied herself to sing. A guitar started strumming and the rest of the band joined in shortly after.
"Today was a fairytale, you were the prince
I used to be a damsel in distress
You took me by the hand, and you picked me up at six
Today was a fairytale, today was a fairytale"
Rachel remembered how Blaine had picked her up for their first date and how her heart raced. She was done with being heartbroken by douchebags like Finn.
"Today was a fairytale, I wore a dress
You wore a dark gray t-shirt
You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess
Today was a fairytale
Time slows down whenever you're around
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there"
Rachel thought back to the Spin-The-Bottle-produced kiss she'd shared with Blaine at her party. The memory was a bit hazy, she'd been extremely drunk when it happened, but she did remember one thing as clear as day: the fireworks. She knew she felt something strong for Blaine, even if it was just after one date and a single, drunken kiss.
"It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale
You've got a smile that takes me to another planet
Every move you make, everything you say is right
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale
All that I can say is now it's getting so much clearer
Nothing made sense until the time I saw your face
Today was a fairytale
Time slows down whenever you're around
Yeah, yeah"
Rachel remembered watching Blaine perform before. She had been extremely impressed, but she'd never thought of it as anything other than respect for a fellow artist.
"But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale"
Rachel found herself smiling uncontrollably at the thought of the Warbler.
Time slows down whenever you're around
I can feel my heart, it's beating in my chest
Did you feel it?
I can't put this down
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
But can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me
Fell in love when I saw you standing there
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale
Today was a fairytale
The Glee club applauded and the brunette dipped into a bow. She was beaming from ear to ear. After being praised by Mr. Schue, Rachel found her way to her seat. Adjusting her green floral dress, she thought about how Kurt would feel. If Blaine realizes he's not gay, he'll be free game and I'm just doing Kurt a favor. I know, I will prove to Kurt that he's wrong. Part one of 'Mission: Get Blaine' starts today.
Mr. Schue changed the subject to a Journey song he wanted to make a mash-up out of. Rachel, once again, found her thoughts drifting to her recent infatuation.
(Meanwhile, at Dalton Academy)
Blaine walked confidently into the cozy room where the Warblers practiced every day. He sat down in a plush, red chair and let out a sigh. Most of the others were already in the room, busily chatting about a variety of topics. David came into the room, closing the door behind him. The room faded to silence as each boy turned his attention to the front of the room.
Wes cleared his throat and examined a sheet of paper in front of him.
"I call this meeting to order. First, we have a performance from Junior Member Blaine Anderson."
Blaine stood up, re-buttoning the top of his blazer. He bit his lip, showing a sign of something that most had deemed quite rare to Blaine: nervousness. He wasn't sure how the club would react to his choice of song. There's no turning back now, he thought as he opened his mouth to sing.
"This was never the way I planned, not my intention
I got so brave, drink in hand, lost my discretion
It's not what I'm used to, just wanna try you on
I'm curious for you caught my attention"
Almost instantly, everyone recognized his choice of song. A fair amount of chatter broke out, only to be silenced by a strict glare from Wes. Blaine could tell he was befuddled by Blaine's actions, also. Blaine ignored the confusion and broke into the chorus.
"I kissed a girl and I liked it, the taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it, I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong, it felt so right, don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it, I liked it
No, I don't even know your name, it doesn't matter
You're my experimental game, just human nature
It's not what good girls do, not how they should behave
My head gets so confused, hard to obey
I kissed a girl and I liked it, the taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it, I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong, it felt so right, don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it, I liked it"
Blaine continued into his slightly altered version of the next few lines.
"Those girls they are so magical, soft skin, red lips, so kissable
Hard to resist, so touchable, too good to deny it
It ain't no big deal, it's innocent
I kissed a girl and I liked it, the taste of her cherry chapstick
I kissed a girl just to try it, I hope my boyfriend don't mind it
It felt so wrong, it felt so right, don't mean I'm in love tonight
I kissed a girl and I liked it, I liked it"
Blaine finished and the response was complete and total silence. David prevented further awkwardness by speaking up. Blaine noticed Kurt Hummel was glaring at him, as if mentally throwing daggers at his chest.
"Interesting choice of song., now, onto the pressing matter of regional songs. I believe we should have a solo song from Blaine, followed by …"
Blaine sat down, ignoring the rest of the meeting. They'd never had a problem with his being gay, why were they reacting to his experimentation so coldly? Or was it just how he presented? He knew he should have used a song that wasn't so blatantly to the point.
A/N: Sorry about the shortness of this chapter and the fact that it was filled with mostly song lyrics. I promise that most of the chapters won't be like this.
